Soon, the group arrived at the valley.
After dismounting, Lu Fangfang greeted Lao Xu and then climbed up the snow-capped mountain with Wang Shufen.
When she reached the halfway point of the hillside, she saw Zhu Haiming riding her bicycle in the distance below.
Lu Fangfang looked at it, shook her head, took the little snow leopard out of her bag, patted its little head, and told it it was time to get to work.
A day has passed, and Xiaohua is quite different from yesterday; she's much more energetic and lively.
This time, Lu Fangfang didn't need to carry it; she just let Xiao Hua find it on the ground, and she followed behind Xiao Hua.
Once she found the cordyceps, Xiaohua stopped and looked back at Lu Fangfang.
She grabbed a shovel, rushed over, and dug out the cordyceps. Her efficiency was incredible; she was practically a cheat code.
Before they had been digging for long, she and the little snow leopard had already overtaken Wang Shufen by a great distance.
"My goodness, this is practically a treasure-hunting leopard."
Wang Shufen looked on, and immediately felt envious.
She looked around, wishing she could find a smart little snow leopard herself.
...
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain, Zhu Haiming pedaled her bicycle as fast as she could, and finally arrived.
She looked up at the snow-capped mountain and was completely dumbfounded.
Lu Fangfang and Wang Shufen have disappeared somewhere. How are they supposed to dig for caterpillar fungus?
Looking around, she saw a man sitting on the grass not far away, so she quickly went over to him.
"Comrade..."
"Beep, beep beep..."
Zhu Haiming was about to call for the man when she heard the melodious harmonica music start, and she froze on the spot.
This sound reminded her of the days when she listened to music in Shanghai.
"Hai Mei? Hai Mei?"
Behind her, Yang Yufeng shouted twice, and she finally came to her senses.
"Comrade, have you seen where Lu Fangfang went?"
Xu Huayun paused, put down his harmonica, and looked back.
"What...what a handsome man..."
His melancholy eyes, sexy beard, and striking features made Zhu Haimei momentarily lose herself in the gaze.
I never expected to see such a handsome man here.
Zhu Haiming blushed slightly and asked softly, "Comrade, hello, my name is Zhu Haiming, I am Lu Fangfang's friend. Have you seen where she went?"
"Comrade Lu and Comrade Wang went to the mountains to dig for caterpillar fungus, but I don't know the exact location."
Xu Huayun shook his head and ignored the woman.
He picked up his harmonica and continued playing.
Zhu Haiming's eyes lit up. She slowly walked over, picked up the Seagull camera hanging around her neck, and took a picture of Xu Huayun.
"Click".
Xu Huayun frowned, got up, picked up her harmonica, and left.
"He's really handsome, just like someone in a movie."
Zhu Haiming stood there, watching the man leave.
"Comrade Haiming, what are you looking at? I heard that's an old rightist. You'd better not get close to him."
"Old Rightist? No wonder."
Zhu Haiming suddenly realized, and then felt a little frightened.
If she hadn't been decisive, her fate would certainly not have been much better than that old rightist's.
"Hai Mei, how about we call it a day? I've never dug up cordyceps before."
Looking at the snow-capped mountain, Yang Yufeng had second thoughts.
"No, not only do you have to dig, but I also need to find more sisters-in-law to dig. Lu Fangfang is on this snowy mountain. We can find her little by little."
Zhu Haimei is not someone who gives up halfway.
She led Yang Yufeng and climbed towards the snow-capped mountain.
...
Meow~
Little Flower scratched at Black Sprout with her paws, then lay down on the ground.
"Little Flower? Little Flower? Is she tired?"
Lu Fangfang patted the little snow leopard's head.
Xiao Hua glanced at her, then lowered her head again.
Well, her little radar is out of power again.
Lu Fangfang dug out the cordyceps from the ground, then picked up the little snow leopard and put it in her arms. She lay down on the ground and started searching for it herself.
Without the snow leopard cub's help, her speed immediately slowed down, and for a moment, she was quite unaccustomed to it.
"Hoo... Lu..."
"Lu Fangfang... huff... huff..."
Hearing the noise, she turned around and saw Zhu Haiming and Yang Yufeng walking towards her, both panting heavily.
Having just finished digging, Lu Fangfang sat cross-legged on the ground and waited for the two of them.
"Lu...Lu...Lu..."
"Hey, you two, stop calling me and catch your breath."
Lu Fangfang looked disgusted; she was genuinely afraid the two of them would suffocate here.
She thought she was already out of breath climbing the snow-capped mountain, but she didn't expect these two to be even more impressive.
Yang Yufeng was sweating profusely. She covered her neck and slumped down.
Zhu Haiming wasn't much better off. She plopped down on the ground, feeling like she was seeing stars and couldn't catch her breath.
"No, can't you two climb a little slower? No one's chasing you."
"I...I...I..."
"I didn't...I just wanted to...find you sooner."
Zhu Haiming spoke haltingly, managing to finish just one sentence.
Seeing this, Lu Fangfang was really afraid that the two of them would die here. She took off the water bottle around her neck and handed it to them, saying, "Hurry up and drink some water. I soaked cordyceps in it. Drinking it will make you feel better."
Zhu Haiming took it, drank a small sip, and finally felt a little better.
Just as she was about to return it, Yang Yufeng snatched it away from her.
"Gulp..."
"Hey? Hey? Hey? Just take a sip, don't drink it all."
Lu Fangfang, her face dark, snatched it away, quickly screwed on the cap, and hung it around her neck.
